Let Wild Colorado be your comprehensive guide to fifty-one roadless recreation areas in the state. Explore the Weminuche Wilderness, Colorado's largest wilderness area, as well as the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park, Great Sand Dunes National Monument and Preserve, and the greater Rocky Mountain National Park area, including Indian Peaks. Each carefully researched profile includes: at-a-glance information on location, size, and management status; a map showing major roads, trails, and access points; an overview of the landscape and its major features; a description of local recreational opportunities; one to three suggested excursions - day hike, backpack, backcountry ski or snowshoe hike, or overnighter - with detailed information on how to get there, what you'll see, and when the best times are to go. In addition, you'll learn about protecting and preserving wilderness areas, tips for having a safe trip, and being prepared for unexpected hazards. |
